“Please take my penny,” said Maggie to old Dan, the fisherman, who sat on a bench repairing his nets.

Her brother Andrew drew her back, whispering, “Maggie, he is not a beggar (乞丐)!” But Maggie paid no attention. “Please take it,” she said again. Old Dan smiled, and took it. “Thank you, little miss,” he said, “It is kindly meant.”

After that, Maggie went to the beach to gather shells. She never thought how fast the hours were passing until being tired, she sat down on a rock beside a little pool. Soon she was scared by a noise near her, and Dan?s large dog Rover jumped down from a rock!

He licked her hands and made a loud noise, and then began gently to pull her coat. “Rover wishes me to come away, I see,” she said, and she rose from the rock and began to go home. However, that was not so easy as she had expected. She found the places she had gone down easily very difficult to climb up, and as the tide (潮水) had been coming in for some time. She found some of the stones wet and smooth.

What could poor Maggie do? She felt sad and cried, but the waves made a much louder noise than she could make, and perhaps she would have been drowned (淹死) without good wise Rover. Rover jumped upon a big stone and raised his loud bark until even the waves could not drown it.

The fisherman had taken his nets to the top of the cliffs (悬崖), and was laying them out in the sun when he heard the loud barking of a dog. He felt sure that it was Rover, and Rover in trouble, so, going to the edge of the cliffs, he looked over. There he saw it all—Rover barking for help, and the little child standing beside him.

“Bless her! It is the little one that was so kind-spoken to me this morning!” he cried, and he hurried to his sons? home.

“Quick, boys, quick!” he said. “Get to the boat, and row fast to the bay (海湾). There is a poor child there just waiting to be drowned.” The fishermen lost no time, and soon little Maggie and Rover were rowed safely to land! Old Dan was waiting there to lift her out, and give her into her mother?s arms.

“It was the penny that did it, madam,” he said to Mrs. Weston later. “I saw Rover looking at her when she put the penny so kind-like into my hand—just as if he would have said, ?Rover will be your friend now, little girl.? And I am thinking he had been looking after her all the day, for he never came near me after that.”

An east China highway pile-up on April 2nd has killed three people and injured 31 others.

That day was the first day of a three-day national holiday marking the Tomb-Sweeping Day.

Two people died in a local hospital where nine others are being treated. Another person died after treatment failed in a larger hospital in Wuxi where 22 remain hospitalized, Changzhou traffic police updated on its official microblog account at Weibo.com.

The accident happened at the Changzhou section of the

highway linking Shanghai and Nanjing. It drew public attention as people began posting photos and videos on Chinese social media WeChat and Weibo. Images showed dozens of trucks, buses and cars crashed into each other. People were standing on top of the vehicles.

Local police told Xinhua Press that at least two trucks, three buses and 20 cars were involved. Rainy and foggy weather caused poor visibility and slippery roads.

What?s more, it was difficult for ambulances (救护车)to get to the scene of the accident because the life emergency lane was filled with vehicles, which delayed the rescue of the injured.

The Ministry (部长) of Public Security told traffic departments nationwide to keep a look out for vehicles using the emergency lane occupancy.

All highways in China leave the right lane as the emergency lane. Some drivers, however, pay no attention to this rule. Therefore, the police call on drivers to follow the rule strictly and offer the injured more hope of being saved.

The ministry also asked the police to watch the traffic more carefully so as to quickly discover the potential (潜在的) danger. The police have decided to add electronic monitoring instruments to catch the violations (违规者) and heavily fine drivers for it. 1．This passage is most probably taken from ________. A．a novel B．a play C．a news report D．a speech 2．Which of the following might be the cause of the traffic accident? A．It was rainy and foggy that day.

B．people passing by took photos there. C．Many drivers stood on top of the vehicles.

D．Drivers don?t know about the life emergency lane.

3．In total, how many people received treatment in the hospital in Wuxi? A．31 B．22 C．11 D．23 4．About the accident, which of the following is true according to the passage?

A．There was no life emergency lane at the scene of the accident. B．In China, the left side of the highway is used as life emergency lane. C．The life emergency lane at the scene of the accident was full of vehicles.

D．The police have decided to reduce electronic monitoring instruments after the accident. 5．According to the passage, why do the police ask drivers to be off the emergency lane? A．They want to get a chance to fine drivers heavily. B．They want to catch as many violations as possible.

C．They want to leave the injured more hope of being saved.

D．They have received orders from Chinese social media WeChat and Weibo.

（三） When you make a mistake, big or small, treasure it as it's the most valuable thing in the world. Most of us feel bad when we make mistakes, beat ourselves up about it, feel like failures, and get mad at ourselves.

And that's only natural: Most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad, and we should try to avoid mistakes. We've been punished when we make mistakes — at home, school and work. Maybe not always, but probably enough times to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction(无意识的反应).

Yet without mistakes, we could not learn or grow. If you think about it that way, mistakes should be treasured and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world: They make learning possible; they make growth and improvement possible.

By test and error — trying things, making mistakes, and learning from those mistakes — we have found out how to make electric lights, to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, and to fly. Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler, make speech possible, and make works of genius(天才) possible.

Think about how we learn: We don't just get information about something and know it at once or know how to do it. You don't just read about painting, or writing, or computer programming, or baking, or playing the piano, and know how to do them right away. Instead, you get information about something, from reading or from another person or from watching usually ... then you set a model in your mind ... then you test it out by trying it in the real world ... then you make mistakes ... then you correct the model based on the results of your real world experiment ... and repeat, making mistakes, learning from those mistakes, until you've pretty much learned how to do something.

That's how we learn as babies and toddlers, and how we learn as adults. Mistakes are how we learn to do something new — because if you succeed in something, it's probably something you already knew how to do. You haven't really grown much from that success — at most it's the last step on your journey, not the whole journey. Most of the journey is made up of mistakes, if it's a good journey.

So if you value learning, if you value growing and improving, then you should value mistakes. They are amazing things that make a world full of wonders possible. 1. According to the passage, how should we treat mistakes? A. We should try to avoid making mistakes.

B. We should owe great inventions mainly to mistakes. C. We should treat mistakes as good chances to learn.

D. We should make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.

2. The underlined word “toddler” in Paragraph 6 probably means ________. A. a small child learning to walk B. a kindergarten child learning to draw C. a primary pupil learning to read D. a school teenager learning to write 3. We can learn from the passage that ________. A. most of us can really grow from success B. growing and improving are based on mistakes C. we learn to make mistakes by test and error

D. we read about something and know how to do it right away 4. The author wants to tell us ________.

A. what you should do when meeting with difficulties B. where you can find your mistakes C. how you can avoid making mistakes D. why you should celebrate your mistakes
